Who Am I?

< Previous Next >

September 26

There is a re-structuring within my organisation and it was a major reshuffle. Nothing like a military coup in Thailand or en masse resignation by Koizumi and his cabinet today. Still, it must have left many people heart-broken, shaken, somewhat apprehensive and reflecting on what all the fuss that this is creating. What is most significant to me in this annoucement is seeing a seemingly capable person fall from glory! I am utterly convinced that no matter how good you are; you are always at the mercy of the system you are in (remember your boss is also part of the system). So it leads me to think about the value and purpose of our diligence and hardwork. Who are we working for? Who are we trying to please? Who is giving us approval for our value? Bottomline it is about my identity - Who Am I?

This is an age old question that baffles human beings since time immemorial. It has given philosophers and psychologists many ideas to think about and research areas to do. Still, the answer eludes us all. Why? For the simple reason that the answer lies not in the human mind or its wisdom. We have to go the source of our identities.

If we can uncover our personal identities, then we would have created for ourselves immunity against any storms or uncertainties in life. Whether it be retrenchment, re-structuring and even being cold-storaged will leave us unshakeable in the belief in ourselves. The irony is that once we discover our identities, our intuition will guide us to avoid such "mishaps" from coming to pass. I am of the belief that once this identity is found (some call it destiny), the person is unstoppable. He or she will be so passionate over this new-found liberty that it is almost infectious.

Have you found your identity or destiny? If not, do start seeking it. For it can be found.

As for me, I have embarked on this journey. Wish me well!
